DATA COMMUNICATION DEVICE - In a wireless communication network, a data communication device (e.g. a Layer 2 switch) includes a wireless monitoring device, a path cost control device, and a communication path control device. Due to an increase of path costs in wireless areas, the path control device recalculates path costs over a network so as to carry out switching to an appropriate data communication path, e.g. a LAN with blocking a wireless line. When a wireless band is recovered due to an AMR function, the wireless monitoring device sends a path cost change request to the path cost control device, which in turn reduces a path cost at a wireless line port. Additionally, the communication path control device recalculates path costs over a network so as to switch over data communication paths. Thus, it is possible to select an optimum data communication path with a low cost.

Regulatory Genes for Plant Differentiation and Growth, and Use of the Same - An objective of the present invention is to provide gibberellin-binding proteins, genes encoding such proteins, and applications therefor. The proteins of the present invention function as cytoplasmic receptors for gibberellin and mediate gibberellin response in plants. Plants overexpressing such genes exhibited gibberellin-hypersensitive phenotypes, such as increased plant height. In contrast, plants in which the genes were mutated exhibited gibberellin-insensitive phenotypes, and thus became dwarfed. Accordingly, plant differentiation and growth can be regulated by introducing the gibberellin-binding genes of the present invention or by suppressing the expression of same.
